The morning had started like any other. She woke up at around ten o'clock, got dressed, put on her makeup and her hat, and at about ten thirty she realized she was supposed to be catching a train. And not just any train. A train to a school of 'magic'. She almost laughed at the thought. It was probably just some big elaborate hoax set up by some loser who had too much time on their hands, and would probably be video taping the whole thing to show how gullible she was. But she might as well check it out. If it was a hoax she could beat the sh*t out of the weasle who set it up, and if it wasn't a hoax (Ha, yeah right) then she would get on the train and see where it went. Anywhere was better than where she currently was, that was for sure.

And so she decided to do some last-minute packing, stuffing a bunch of clothes into a suitcase and putting her cat, Jackson, into his carrying case-thing. Then she made sure she had a wide assortment of baseball caps in her bag, and all of her makeup (along with all of her electronics such as her cell phone, iPod, laptop, etc.). She phoned her friends and told them she was going on a 'vacation' of sorts, and that if she wasn't back in a few months, not to worry about her. Then she got into her car and drove to the station.

Upon arrival she was surprised to actually see a train waiting for her, along with quite a number of other people (some with their mothers, others with their dads, most with both of their parents and even a few siblings to see them off). Maybe it wasn't a hoax after all. Or maybe it was just very cleverly set up. You could never tell. But she decided she had nothing to lose and walked up to the door, stepping into the train and looking around for an empty compartment. Finding one about halfway down the hall, she noticed how it had six seats and hoped there wouldn't really be five other people who would share it with her. But then again, she was always up for making some new party buddies.

So she put her suitcase on the rack above and let Jackson out of his case before putting the cage up with her bag as well. Then she sat back in the seat nearest the window, bringing her legs to use the seat across from her as a footrest. Taking out her iPod and turning up the volume, she crossed her arms behind her head like a pillow and leaned her head back, closing her eyes as she listened to the music blasting in her ears.
